For over half my 58 years I’ve photographed and written about skiing and ski mountaineering, much of it for Powder magazine. It’s been my pleasure and good fortune to travel in the world’s mountains – including the summits of four of its tallest peaks – with friends intent on capturing the adventure of ski-touring, alpine climbing, and ski descent. Just one of the many gratifications such journeys provide is working with the indigenous peoples of remote locales, and in the process, learning something of their culture and becoming their friends.

My photos and articles from Jackson Hole, Alaska, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Antarctica have appeared in numerous national and international publications. I have shot commercial assignments for ski-industry and adventure travel clients. I am co-owner of Focus Productions, Inc. (focusproductions.com) with another longtime Jackson Hole photographer, Bob Woodall, and publish three annual visitors' guides: Jackson Hole Skier, Mountain Country Adventure Guide, and the Jackson Hole Dining Guide.
